The 2nd edition of Research.com ranking of the best researchers in the
arena of Economics and Finance is based on data
combined from various data sources including OpenAlex and
CrossRef. The bibliometric data for estimating the citation-based metrics were
collected on 21-12-2022. Position in the ranking is based on a
researcher’s D-index (Discipline H-index), which
only includes publications and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The scope of our Economics and Finance research
Our best scientists ranking is a reliable
lineup of leading scientists from the discipline of
Economics and Finance, based on a thorough
study of 166,880 researchers discovered
from multiple bibliometric data sources. For the field of
Economics and Finance, over 8163 scientists were
examined.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Economics and Finance
The D-index threshold for accepting a researcher to be
evaluated is set to 30 if
most of their publications are in the discipline of Economics and Finance. The
acceptance criteria for researchers to be
considered into the ranking of top researchers are based on the D-index, ratio
of the contributions made within the selected area
in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The
D-index threshold for listing leading scholars is
set as an increment of 10 depending on the total number of scientists
assessed for each discipline whilst
ensuring that the top 1% of best scholars are
added into the ranking. We expect a proximity of
30% or less between a researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification methods
As our main mission is to guarantee that only
actual scientists are mentioned in
the ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be a complete tool to quantify the
output of scientists. This is why
we manually verify each profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
broad range of trustworthy sources. While it’s not a
element impacting a scientist’s position in
the ranking, the quantity of documents published in
well-known journals and conference proceedings should be a
credible secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given area of science. Position in the ranking is
determined by each researcher’s D-index
with the help of metrics gathered from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind open to the research community. A
comprehensive explanation of our research procedures
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our mission
Our objective is to motivate scholars,
entrepreneurs and decision-makers
around the world to explore where top experts are heading
and to provide a way for the whole research community to
discover who the leading experts in specific
fields of research, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
